DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0018] Referring to the FIG. 1 firstly, the ornamental pendant structure able to make up patterns in a DIY mode of the present invention is comprised primarily of a pendant 1 provided thereon with a magnetic pad 12, and a plurality of picture blocks 2 are attracted by the magnetic pad 12 of the pendant 1 to form an ornamental pendant structure.

[0019] Wherein, the magnetic pad 12 is provided on one side of the pendant 1 (referring to FIGS. 1, 3), the magnetic pad 12 can be freely rotated on the pendant 1 (referring to FIG. 4), one end of the pendant 1 is provided with a hole for connecting with a ring 31. The surface of the pendant 1 can be printed thereon or coated thereon with metal, rock, plant or sea shells etc. or can be made by processing of etching, knurling, polishing or forming fogged surfaces to give the surfaces colorful patterns and a kind of feeling of good quality.

[0020] The magnetic pad 12 is made of magnetic material, and has an attracting surface 122 in the shape of undulated surface (referring to FIG. 3) to attract the picture blocks 2. The magnetic pad 12 is provided on the periphery thereof with a plurality of adjustment holes 121 (referring to FIG. 1) which can be inserted therein sharp rod ends, by moving the rod ends, the adjustment holes 121 can be moved to allow the magnetic pad 12 to rotate freely on the pendant 1 to a desired position (referring to FIG. 4). In this way, a user can adjust the angular position of the adjustable magnetic pad 12.

[0021] The picture blocks 2 are modularized metallic platelets capable of being attracted by the magnetic pad 12 and capable of forming a plurality of patterns (referring to FIGS. 1, 3). The front and the rear surfaces of the pendant 1 and the picture blocks can be printed thereon or coated thereon with metal, rock, plant or sea shells etc. or can be made by processing of etching, knurling, polishing or forming fogged surfaces to give the surfaces colorful patterns and a kind of feeling of good quality. For example, the picture blocks 2 can be pieced together, or can be made up as a Chinese tangram (referring to FIG. 2). The picture blocks 2 can be pieced together into various contours such as figures of people, fishes and beasts, geometric patterns etc. The picture blocks 2 thus can have the function of originating and making up a plurality of patterns.

[0022] By attracting of the picture blocks 2 to the attracting surface 122 of the magnetic pad 12 of the pendant 1 (referring to FIG. 3A), the picture blocks 2 can form a brilliant decoration surface (referring to FIG. 1) taking advantage of the colors and luster as well as the quality of the picture blocks 2 themselves. Thereby, when the user is to dress up, only the ring 31 connecting with the hole of the pendant 1 is needed to be attached to a braded colored thread or a metallic necklace 3 etc. to form an ornamental pendant structure for hanging at a desired location on the user.

[0023] When the user wants to change the decoration surface of the ornamental pendant structure, he can use a sharp angled clamp 4 with two feet 41, 42 by taking advantage of their tips or use fingers to move the picture blocks 2 easily for changing their positions (referring to FIG. 1) within the scope of the magnetic pad 12 of the pendant 1 through the gaps formed among the picture blocks 2 on the attracting surface 122 of the magnetic pad 12 (referring to FIG. 3); alternatively, he can turn over the picture blocks 2 to show more various brilliant colorful patterns and good qualities by means of the decoration surfaces on both sides of the picture blocks 2. Thereby, a user can originate and make up decoration surfaces with the picture blocks 2 on the magnetic pad 12 (referring to FIG. 5). This gives the advantage of changing the patterns of the ornamental pendant 1 in a DIY mode, and the ornamental pendant structure can allow a user to originate and change decoration surfaces in pursuance of the mood, fondness or arrangement of dressing of the user, thereby, practical value and various brilliant ornamental effects of the ornamental pendent can be largely elevated.

[0024] Moreover, the ornamental pendant 1 and the magnetic pad 12 can both be in the shape of ellipsoids, polygons, rectangles or triangles etc.; for example, a pendant 10 can be in the shape of a pentagon, a magnetic pad 120 can be in the shape of a triangle, so that the whole ornamental pendant structure can be endued with a mysterious feeling (referring to FIG. 6) suiting wearing by youths of extroversion personality in dancing parties. The embodiment of the ornamental pendant structure thereby has another ornamental effect and the user can have more selections in use. Any ornamental pendant having the magnetic pad for attracting a plurality of picture blocks thereon shall thereby fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0025] One thing especially worth mentioning, i.e., the cost of production of the ornamental pendant structure of the present invention is low, volumes of the pendant, the magnetic pad and the picture blocks are all small (referring to FIG. 1) and are all designed under the conception of modulariztion; hence manufacturers can provide them as various ornamental members in a way of mass production easily, thereby, the problem of slow selling and storing up of goods of the conventional ornamental pendants can be solved. The present invention thus has the industrial characteristic of low cost, high added value and exquisiteness.

[0026] In conclusion, the ornamental pendant structure able to make up patterns in a DIY mode with a plurality of picture blocks attracted by the magnetic pad on the pendant allows a user to easily move the picture blocks with hands within the scope of the magnetic pad to form the decoration surfaces of the ornamental pendant structure with a brilliant ornamental effect. This gives the advantage of changing the patterns of the ornamental pendant in a DIY mode, and the ornamental pendant structure can allow the user to originate and change decoration surfaces in pursuance of his mood, fondness or arrangement of dressing etc. to manifest his own outstanding style and to elevate practical value and variant decoration effects of the ornamental pendant.
